configure notifications

[DOliana]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a charger (Vestel) that seems to reboot frequently - it might also be due to network connectivity. TBH I don't really care if it reboots or not. The issue is, that I get multiple notifications in home assistant because it reboots, which leads to me ignoring notifications completely.

Describe the solution you'd like
make notifications configurable.
some ideas (focussed on reboots, since that's all I have been seeing):

• allow to turn notifications for specific events on/off
• allow to configure a timeframe to send notifications (e.g. only notify once every x hours)
• add system entities (e.g. reboot counter, time last reboot etc)

Got it - thanks!
What do you think about adding that to the docs? maybe an FAQ section? (I searched also the closed issues here but couldn't find it.)

I have a Vestel as well and the only reboot notification I get is when Home Assistant starts. I bet it is a bad WIFI connection of your wallbox which leads to disconnects.
If the solution to dismiss notifications is not fine for you, you might need to improve connectivity (e.g. using a LAN cable)

if you give me a pointer to the right place in the docs, I can add a PR. Right now I couldn't find a section for FAQs or similar in this repo.

I am aware of the bad connectino - I have to hook up the cable. In the meantime I still think there might be others facing similar issues and an explanation could help.
